DIAGNOSTIC ACCURACY OF TRANSVIGINAL SONOGRAPHY IN DETECTING ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA IN POST MENOPAUSAL WOMEN

ABSTRACT
Background: Postmenopausal bleeding (PMB) is approximately 20-30% of cases of postmenopausal vaginal bleeding,
the cause may be attributed to endometrial carcinoma or atypical endometrial hyperplasia. Endometrial hyperplasia
(EH) is considered to be a frequent cause of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) in postmenopausal women. Trans
vaginal ultrasound (TVS) is the first step followed by invasive procedures for its detection.An ultrasound measurement
of endometrial thickness more or equal to 5mm in a patient with postmenopausal vaginal bleeding warrant’s further
